The artist, Abby Howard, told Agenda that she chose Kickstarter after seeing other independent cartoonists find success with the platform.

“It is an excellent service for independent creators, particularly those who already have an audience they can rely upon,” she said. “If you’re thinking of launching a Kickstarter but haven’t spent time and effort building up an audience, I’d hold off. It’s probably not going to do very well, even if it’s something people would enjoy.”
